Meet THUMPER, an 800-Pavement-Pounding-Horsepower '78 Big-Block Shark!
The link you posted stated it was featured in VETTE MAGAZINE.
Here is Thumper at her Big Photo Shoot with VETTE MAGAZINE!
The exterior of the '78 was in respectable condition before the project began, already wearing a full line of Ecklers ground effects, including side skirts, a front air dam, and rear bumper with a lip spoiler. It also sports Ecklers bubble taillights. But, when Thumper came to be, "presentable," it was no longer good enough! A custom hood was required to provide more clearance space for the big-block, and since there isn't a wide variety of aftermarket hoods available, Scotty decided to build his own. They crafted a functional, 3.5-inch raised cowl-induction hood, which sucks air in from the back through a pair of customized K&N filters and feeds it directly into the Holley carb. Once the hood was created, Scotty molded the Ecklers ground effects to the body, and he spent hours block-sanding the whole car. Gilbert at Finish Master stirred up a custom bright red PPG paint for Thumper, and Scotty shot the Vette with PPG DBU base and PPG 2042 clear before color-sanding and buffing it to a brilliant gleam. A set of billet 17x8 and 17x9.5-inch Boyd Coddington rims finish off Thumper's eye-grabbing appearance.
